Language exposure 19/12/2015

Language learning is a life-long process to refine and upgrade it.  Thus mistakes are inevitable in the production of the language.  I believe that I often make mistakes carelessly or without knowing them.   I see mistakes be the mother of success when I can learn from them and improve myself all the time.   The mistakes  I make without knowing them are considered as  my ‘blind spot’

    
In the English language learning and teaching, I strongly believe that having the knowledge of the English grammar and phonetics is a must and the school must teach them properly.  How proficient you are in English depends on how well-versed you are in these aspects.  It is all about how much you know the language.

     
It is to do a lot of reading and listening in the input to get reinforced in the English grammar and basic phonetics.   Of course, it is as important to engage in the language use in speaking and writing in the output. 

   
In a nutshell, you can master the English language in the course of time if you know English grammar and basic phonetics and do a lot of reading in English texts as well as a lot of exposure in listening activities.  At the same time, you have the chance to practise the language in speaking and writing. 

It is the language exposure that I know:
